Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Systems Engineer - Design Delivery to join our engineering team at General Matter, focused on ensuring seamless design delivery across all engineering disciplines for our enrichment facility program. Drawing on experience in large-scale industrial infrastructure projects, this role demands exceptional organizational capability, multidisciplinary coordination expertise, and the ability to drive cross-functional execution at pace and high quality in a demanding, fast-paced environment.

Primary Responsibilities (75% of time)

You will own design delivery coordination and integration across multiple engineering disciplines and subcontractor scopes to ensure successful execution from concept through construction administration.

Design Disciplines:

• Structural engineering
• MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing)
• UF6 piping systems
• UF6 instrumentation and controls
• Civil engineering
• Facade design
• Lab design and planning
• Specialist piping systems (nitrogen, compressed air, and other process utilities)

You will establish design governance frameworks, manage design reviews, coordinate deliverable schedules, and ensure fully integrated construction packages (IFP/IFC) are delivered on time and to specification. This role requires you to be extremely detail-oriented, identify real hard barriers, and drive cross-functional teams to execute quickly at high quality.

Additional Scope (25% of time)

• Early Release Package Planning: Develop strategies for packaging and sequencing early-release design packages to accelerate construction and de-risk critical path activities
• Engineering Firm Management: Plan for and manage relationships with large augment engineering firms, including scope definition, deliverable standards, and performance metrics
• Workflow Automation: Build and implement smart, automated workflows using APIs and other modern software techniques to streamline engineering coordination, standardize recurring deliverables, and accelerate cross-functional execution

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate brings experience from large-scale industrial capital projects with demonstrated ability to turn high-complexity work into structured delivery systems. You are passionate about driving multidisciplinary projects and possess an unparalleled ability to pull people together to make things happen. You will drive collaboration between design and engineering disciplines, construction, R&D, and operations teams to ensure alignment with company priorities.

We operate in a demanding and fast-paced environment, so being self-motivated, disciplined, and capable of maintaining delivery momentum across concurrent work streams is critical to success in this role.
